Animation, action help Toy Story succe& Toy Story Starring Tom Hanks and Tim Allen Directed by John Lasseter Rated G Playing at Hollywood 16 ★ *** 1/2(out of five) By Rachel Barry The Battalion With Christmas just around the corner, children around the world have one thing on their minds — toys. People who have surpassed the age when a toy was the top item on their wish list can satisfy their need for a little fun thanks to the movie Toy Story. Set primarily in the bedroom of a rambunctious boy named Andy, Toy Story looks into the other side of life in the toy box. The toys in Andy’s room awaken, hold meet ings and play games while the boy is gone. Toy Story marks what could be a new era in animated feature films by being the first to be com pletely created by computers. With a toy posse ranging from the likes of Mr. Potato Head to a deli cate and somewhat wimpy Tyran nosaurus Rex, Toy Story lets viewers in on the secret life of toys. Headed up by an old-fashioned, pull string cowboy named Woody (Tom Hanks), the toys deal with the arrival of a new toy —Buzz Ldghtyear (Tim Allen). Lightyear’s plastic gadgets, annoying beeps and digitized voice have the toys in awe and Woody insecure. Banished by the other toys when he is accused of pushing Buzz out the window, Woody decides the only way he can get back on his friends’ good side is to find Buzz and bring him back safely to the room. And so the outdoor adventure of the two toys begins. Toy Story is the most creative film to come around in a long time. The characters and voices are matched perfectly, creating the most likable cast of any ani mated feature. While many ani mated films have one or two main funny characters. Toy Sto ry fills the screen with countless hysterical personalities. Toy Story is an entertaining look at the double lives of toys and a heart-warming story of the importance children place on toys. The one word that can adequately sum up Toy Story is fun. With action sequences as turbulent as a Die Hard scene and dia logues combining the hu mor of Hanks and Allen, Toy Story is a non-stop, laugh-a-minute riot. There are no dull mo ments throughout the film. Whether it is Woody and Buzz tangled in a pointless argument or Mr Potato Head going on about his body parts, the laughter never stops. It is the comfort a toy provides and the trust a child puts in a toy that make the premise of this movie universal. It is the creative glimpse at a toy’s life outside of a child’s grasp that makes it truly unique. The Beatles are back to old backward tricks LONDON (AP) — Kcab era seltaeB ehT. The Beatles are back — backwards? Nearly three decades after fans thought Paul was dead, a BBC producer said the three surviving Beatles are again recording secret messages back wards into a song. Simon Clifford said he heard John Lennon say “Turned out nice again,” backwards at the end of the Beatles reunion num ber “Free As A Bird.” Clifford first noticed the phrase while watching the video, which concludes with a man in 1940s dress mounting a stage and playing a ukulele. The song closes with a ukulele. George Formby, a popular ukulele-playing music hall co median from England’s north — like the Beatles — used to end his act with the phrase, “Turned out nice again.” Form by died in 1961. “I regard it as being very spooky, almost like a subliminal message to fans,” Clifford told listeners Friday. The Beatles’ use of tapes spooled backwards on songs like “Tomorrow Never Knows” (1966) and “Because” (1970) prompted rumors of secret messages. Fans argued over whether what sounded like “I buried Paul” on “Strawberry Fields Forever” (1967) and “Turn me on dead man” on “Revolution No. 9” (1968) were clues that Paul McCartney had been killed and replaced by a lookalike. Spokesmen for the group or for the recording label EMI could not be reached over the weekend for comment. Williams does not mind controversy RADNOR, Pa. (AP) — Vanes sa Williams, no stranger to racial and sexual controversy, is un daunted by her role in the TV re make of Bye Bye Birdie as half of an interracial couple.

Williams was the Miss America in September 1983 but re nounced her ti tle nine months later after Pent house maga zine printed nude pictures of her.
